Horror On TV: Twilight Zone 5.30 “Stopover In A Quiet Town”

After having too much to drink at a party, Bob and Millie (played by Barry Nelson and Nancy Malone) wake up in a strange bed with no memory of how they got there. Hey, who hasn’t had that happen once or twice, right? However, Bob and Millie soon discover that not only is the house deserted, but so is the strange town outside.

This episode of the Twilight Zone was written by Earl Hamner, Jr. and directed by Ron Winston. It was originally broadcast on April 24th, 1964.

I must be honest, this is one of the easier “Twilight Zone” mysteries to solve–I pretty much “got” what was coming–the disembodied giggle from the girl and the fact nothing is “real” (e.g. the fake tree) are major clues. But that’s the great thing about the show: some twists you’ll seeing coming before anybody else solves them, and then there are others that your friends will see before you work it out.
